I have noticed that on a lot of German tanks from the second world war there are roughly six cylinders (three on each side) on the turret of the tank.
Can anyone tell me what the purpose of them was?

I suspect that maybe they were used to store additional ammunition?

Thank you.

When the gavel comes down on the 109th Congress, they will have worked a total of 103 days!
They get paid a lot, have a lot of perks, and wield a lot of power for hardly working!
Don't you think they should work more? They spend an awful lot of time fundraising and campaigning.

I am in the Army, and while accompanying me on my assignment in Korea, my wife got hired for a civil service job in the grade of GS-11 using provisions of Family Member Appointment. However, shortly after hiring her, the Air Force withdrew the position, saying my wife did not meet the Time in Grade requirements. Under US Code, time in grade requirements only apply to Career Civil Servants, not to family member appointees, but the Air Force Personnel Center (which is staffed by Career Civil Servants) claimed that it was not fair that Family Members should be exempt and withdrew the appointment. My wife's boss restructured the position as GS-7 so my wife could continue to work, and we submitted a claim. The IG said they were unable to act, and our congressman was voted out of office before our issue concluded. Our JAG office has urged us from the beginning to sue the gov't, but we are in Korea and I have no idea how to find an Employment lawyer who can take our case. Any ideas?

I asked a question yesterday, nothing offensive, simply "Do you like George W. Bush" with additional details where I explain why I like him. Today I get a notice of violation for that question. What is going on? I'm thinking is those Free Speech hating Liberals.

Is it just me or are we all nuts? Why is our gov't worried about the trans-fats in the food we eat while there are people living on the streets with nothing to eat or a safe place to live, children being abused daily, AIDS, bad schools, bad roads, bad taxes, bad mental health care, over crowed prisons, too few police and firemen to protect us all. And lets not forget all the men & women fighting over seas...to the east and west. And NYC is worried about what fries and donuts are fried in....things that make you say WHERE'S YOUR PRORITIES??? Got any other stupid ideas for the politicians...they need help.

It seems foolish to believe that the totality of an individual's political beliefs can be catagorized under a single word.
